Russia Makes Shocking Declaration – Sudden U-Turn!

russia makes sudden u-turn

The Kremlin’s preference for Kamala Harris over Trump speaks volumes about the volatile landscape of U.S.-Russia relations.

At a Glance

  • Russia views US Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris as a more predictable opponent than Republican Donald Trump.
  • Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed Trump’s claim that he could end the Ukraine war within 24 hours if re-elected.
  • Russian President Vladimir Putin had previously expressed a preference for Joe Biden over Trump.
  • With Biden out, Peskov indicated Democrats, including Harris, are seen as more predictable.
  • Peskov noted that US actions had severely damaged bilateral relations, which are at a historic low.

Kremlin’s Preference Revealed

A recent disclosure by Dmitry Peskov, Kremlin spokesman, has sparked intense debates. Peskov suggested that Russia might favor Kamala Harris over Donald Trump for the U.S. presidential role. This unexpected statement was detailed in an interview, where Peskov emphasized that Harris represents predictability, an attribute Moscow finds crucial in these volatile times.

Peskov’s comments come as Biden has endorsed Harris for the election. He pointed out that the Democrats, including Harris, share a certain predictability that resonates with Russia’s interests over Trump’s impulsiveness. Putin also previously referred to Biden as an experienced “old school” politician, an endorsement that subtly extends to other Democrat figures like Harris.

Trump’s Claims Rebuffed

In his usual style, Trump claimed that if re-elected, he could end the Ukraine war within 24 hours. Peskov dismissed such assertions as pure fantasy, reinforcing the Kremlin’s stance that resolving the Ukraine crisis isn’t as simplistic as Trump suggests. Such statements from Trump only add to the perception of his unpredictability, something that unsettles foreign powers.

Peskov was clear, “Then who is our candidate now? We have no candidate. But, of course, the Democrats are more predictable. And what Putin said about Biden’s predictability applies to almost all Democrats, including Ms. Harris.”

Putin’s Mixed Signals

It’s ironic that, despite praising Biden for predictability, Putin often questioned Biden’s mental fitness. This contradictory behavior further clouds U.S.-Russia relations. On one hand, predictability in leadership is respected, but on the other, that same leadership is scrutinized for potential weaknesses.

In June, Putin remarked that Russia didn’t care who the next U.S. president would be. Yet, he criticized the U.S. legal system for prosecuting Trump, arguing that such political battles against him trample on the interests of the American people.

Kamala Harris’s Stance on Russia

Adding to this complex narrative, Kamala Harris hasn’t shied away from strong rhetoric against Russia. She described Russia’s actions in Ukraine as “horrendous atrocities,” “gruesome,” “barbaric,” and “inhumane.” These statements have not gone unnoticed by the Kremlin, further complicating her standing with Russia despite being viewed as predictable.

Russia closely monitors the U.S. political scene, weighing in on the Democratic side’s predictability over the Republican side’s brashness. With the U.S.-Russia relationship at an all-time low and no prospects for recovery, Peskov’s remarks point to a preference that many might find surprising.

Bilateral Relations at a Standstill

The broader implications of this stance are significant. Russo-American relations are perhaps at their lowest since the Cold War. Peskov noted that recent U.S. actions have severely damaged bilateral ties. Without clear policies that emphasize diplomacy and mutual respect, this historic low will continue to fester.

This news raises crucial questions about the future of U.S.-Russia relations. Can predictability truly lead to a more stable relationship, or is it merely a veneer over a complex, fractured interaction?
